Chamberlain garage door openers are robust, strong and manufactured by the biggest garage door opener company in the world. With over 40 years in the business, Chamberlain has revolutionized the industry and played a critical role in taking garage door openers from nice-to-have extras to residential and commercial necessities.

Let’s take a look at two of the most frequently asked questions by consumers:

# 1: How Do I Program the Remote Control?

First, you have to locate the ‘Learn’ button. On a garage door opener, you will find it on the side or back of the motor unit (you might have to remove the light lens). The button may be yellow, purple, red, orange or green with a small LED light next to it.

On a commercial door opener or gate operator, you will find the Learn button on the logic or control board with a small LED light next to it.

Press and release the Learn button. After no longer than 30 seconds, press and hold down the desired button on the remote. When the opener lights blink, press the remote again. The opener should activate. Click here to watch a ‘how to program a remote control’ video.

# 2: My Light Bulb Keeps Burning Out – Why?

The filaments of incandescent light bulbs are made of delicate, thin wire. If the bulb is bumped or shaken, the filament may crack or break completely, causing the bulb to burn out. Therefore, Chamberlain garage door openers should be securely mounted to prevent vibration or movement from damaging light bulbs.
